1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Rechargeable aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) have attracted great attention due to their inherent advantages such as high safety, low cost, and environmental friendliness, making them one of the most promising alternatives to traditional lithium-ion batteries. The rational design and continuous optimization of versatile inorganic cathode materials play a crucial role in achieving practical applications. In this review, we first systematically classify inorganic cathode materials and their design strategies, including manganese oxides with rich redox chemistry, vanadium compounds with multiple oxidation states, Prussian blue analogues with open skeleton channels, layered transition metal disulfides with unique interlayer ion storage capabilities, and halogens with reversible multielectron capacity. Furthermore, the structural characteristics, electrochemical performances, and crucial improvement methods of these cathode materials are discussed in detail. Finally, we outline the challenges and the prospects of inorganic cathodes in AZIBs to guide the future development of next-generation energy communities.
